6 Car fight.

"Since when do you play the violin?" Asked Phil to Theodore who was already tired after hearing them for the past fifteen minutes while driving towards his uncle's house.

"And where did you get the money for it!?" Asked Claire, this time angrier. Probably because she had asked the same question a lot of times in the past fifteen minutes.

Theodore sighed. He didn't want his parents to know about his money. Especially since he didn't want to start asking permission for using it. His money was plenty and very safe buried in his backyard.

"We are here!" Said Luke while opening the door and almost jump from it.

Theodore saw Hayley also get from the van with the impressive power of walking and texting at the same time. He then sends a look at his parents who were still yelling and making a whole story of their own. Good for him, he had this amazing ability to completely ignore them.

Before Alex could get down. He sends her a weird hand signal that looked like finger people fighting.

Seeing the signal, Alex send him another in response that looked like a gang hand signal.

'This bitch! You are. Helping. Me!' Gesture Theodore in the form of a hand bird doing breakdance and finishing with martial art poses.

Alex huffed and nodded back. Of course, she finished with her hand making two syringes and making Theodore grab his heart in pain for the foul langue.

"We are speaking to you!" Yell Claire while pinching his side and making him jump a little.

"Hey, no violence woman!" He yells while sending a dirty look at them.

At that moment Alex started to make use of her powers, "You know. If you give us more attention you will know where did he learn to play the violin."

Theodore snorted, "Or paint. Plus is not like anything illegal.." He quickly shut up at this, he wasn't to snitch on himself.

"Or write. And…I think you both should be happy that you will at least have half of your children not living with you until your death." Added Alex while sending a look to her twin that screamed 'this nonce is worth at least three books.'

Seeing the look. He nodded back. This save was worthy of three books at least.

Phil put on a hurtful face and while trying to make things go better he said with a gentler tone, "We give you all the same attentio—"

"LUKE STOP TRYING TO PEE ON THE TREES!" Yelled Claire showing how the twins, were in fact being ignored. Not that both of them actually cared much.

They were just trying to act like brats (Only Theodore) while trying to manoeuvre from the long explanation that Theodore was in fact a super-super genius artist…and that he was way wealthier than his parents or grandpa...combined.

"See?" Exclaimed Theodore while pointing at his mother. "I'm sorry but I won't tell you things that you didn't even pay attention to. Do you know? I normally paint in the backyard." Responded Theodore while helping Alex step down from the van.

Claire try to grab his arm, but he was quicker than her.

"Stop there young man!"

"I won't! What are you going to do? Hide my violin?"

"Yes, I will!" Yelled Claire back.

"Eh. You first need to know where it is…" He then escaped with Alex and rings the bell of his uncle's house.

"Nonono you are not leaving. Phil! Tell him that he is grounded!"

Phil blinked and asked her, "For what?" He then think a little more and added, "I don't even know what to take from him anymore."

Claire send a pleading look at Phil that make him run towards Theodore and while pressing both his shoulders said gently, "Buddy we just want to know you better, okay? We are your parents. We worry about you. Is what parents do."

Phil also send a look at Alex and said, "And you too." He then frowned and asked her, "Do you also play an instrument?"

Alex rolled her eyes, "I'm all sciences dad." Making Phil sigh in relief.

Before Theodore could respond. Mitchell opened the door with a smile.

"Hey. Hi"

Getting free from his dad, Theodore shook his head while saying, "I feel so unwelcome in my own house…" and entered the house completely ignoring his parents. And leaving his uncle Mitch not knowing what was happening.

Meanwhile, Alex said to them, "What is next? Asking since when does he do ceramics?"

"Ceramics too?" Asked Phil while sending a face of wonder to Claire.

——A couple of minutes before opening the door——

Cam and Mitch were in the kitchen making dinner ready.

They had been arguing for the past hour, thanks to Mitch not wanting to make dinner and tell his family about adopting Lily, their cute daughter.

"I still can't believe you did this—"

*Doorbell Rings*

"Oh, God." Said Mitch not wanting to open the door.

Meanwhile, Cam put on a happy face and with a little clap said to his partner, "Okay, I'm gonna go get Lily ready."

"Okay." Said Mitch while loudly breathing and really not wanting to do this.

Seeing that Mitch was having problems, Cam, try to encourage him.

Cam grabbed Mitch's arms and gently pressed him while saying in a non-noces voice, "And I want you to just come straight out with it."

"Okey. All right".

"Okay? You can do this."

"Yeah."

Seeing that Mitch couldn't do it. Cam sighed and while poking his chest and seriously said, "Sports guy chest bump."

He then try to make a chest bump by Mitchelle quickly dodged.

"No."

Cam looked at him with narrowed eyes and said, "Sports guy chest bump."

"Cam!" Before Mitchelle could dodge he was chest-bumped. "Ow! You chest bump me!"

Came rolled his eyes and said with a wave of his hand, "All right. Go."

Mitchelle went away to open the door while caressing his stomach which was hurting after the chest bump.

He walked in front of the door and with his hands on the door handle he exhaled, put on a fake smile, and open the door.

"Hey. Hi—"

Before he could finish his greetings, Luc—Theodore, as it was the new name of his nephew, or at least it was what the handwritten letter said (He could still remember the screeching that Cam called celebrating), walked past him and while shaking his head he heard him say.

"I feel so unwelcome in my own house…"

Mitchelle blinked a few times and before he could try again Alex said with a disappointed look at his sister and brother-in-law.

"What is next? Asking since when does he do ceramics?"

At this point, he knew that there was some drama to look up. So with the most crafty smile, he asked Claire, "Hey. How are you?...and what is going on?.."

Claire sighed while Phil hugged Mitchelle.

"Here is some wine. You might want to open it as dad is coming right behind." Claire said while still thinking since when she had started ignoring Lucas. Thinking a little more, She grabbed the bottle from Mitchelle's hand and said, "Don't worry I will drink it before he arrives."

Mitchelle blinked, and asked, "Didn't you said that he was right behin-"

*Pop*

Mitchelle looked with surprise as Claire uncork the wine and started drinking from the bottle.

Before he could ask to Phill what the hell was happening, and hopefully fill what the drama was about…

*Doorbell Ringing*

Hearing the doorbell he sighed and looked at Claire drinking from the bottle...He really wanted some too.

*Door Knocking*

"Knock, knock! We're here. Coming in!" Said Jay while opening the door and looking at the sides trying to see if there was something gay going on.

Mitch rolled his eyes and said to his dad, "Don't worry, Dad. Nothing gay going on here." He then looked at how his dad was dressing and with sarcasm asked.

"May I take your multicoloured coat and bejewelled cap?"

Jay didn't get it, and while being a little fidgety nodded his head, "Yeah. Yeah."

"Hey, Jay." Said Phil while shaking his hand.

Mitch, on the other hand, used the opportunity to escape and take some air. And for air, it means the bottle that his sister had finally left on the table.

"Gloria, hi. How are you?" Said Claire while giving a hug to Gloria and then one to her dad.

"Hi, Dad."

Meanwhile, Phil was also greeting Gloria with a big smile, "Hi, Gloria. How are you?" He then looked at her tightly nice dress and said to her "Oh, what a beautiful dress."

"Ay, thank you, fill"

Phill open his eyes wide, and with another smile said, "Okay."

But before he could touch the dress Claire grabbed his hand and whispered, "Phil. That's how she says "Phil. Not 'feel.' Phil."

"Oh." Said Phil with an awkward face.

Jay who was serving himself a whisky asked his son, Mitch, "So how was your trip?"

Mitch helped the family to sit on the couch while responding to his father, "It was good. It was good actually."

Seeing that all of them were sitting. Mitch took a deep breath and said, "But, um, about that, I- I have something that I need to tell you guys. Um- Uh, we didn't just go to Vietnam for pleasure." He then smiled thinking about Lily, their little baby daughter, and said.

"We, uh, kind of have some big news."

Hearing this Jay open his eyes wide and said, "Oh, God. If Cam comes out here with boobs, I'm leaving."

"Dad." Said Claire to his dad, that was acting dumber than usual.

Seeing this, Hayley complained, "I hope he didn't embarrass you, Mom."

"Oh, don't mind her." Said Claire to the family as if it wasn't anything, "Haley had her first boy over today... and Phil shoot him."

Hearing this the whole family looked at Phil who put on a guilty face.

"Anyway," said Mitch, "Um, so, about- about a year ago, Cam and I started feeling this longing, you know, for something more, like, uh, maybe a baby?"

"Ooh, that's a bad idea." Said Jay.

"What do you mean, 'bad idea'?" Asked Mitch with a frosty tone.

"Well, kids need a mother. I mean if you two guys are bored, get a dog." Said Jay again, not understanding that he was going to be killed by Mitch.

Hearing what his grandpa said. Theodore open his mouth in surprise and after a second complained, "Dammit, I should have brought my flute for the ambience."

Knowing that his son also played the flute now, Phil and Claire send him a look that screamed 'we are going to have a long interrogation and you would tell us everything.'

Good for him, he used his powers and ignored them.

"Okay, we're not bored, Dad." Said Mitch offended and with a face that was getting the same colour as his hair by the second.

Gloria meanwhile, sends a look to his husband that said 'See? this is how you support your stepson. Not like what you did early with Manny', and with a superior tone said to Mitch, "I support you, Mitchell, even though you're not my son."

Theodore on the other hand, widened his eyes seeing Gloria's look. He didn't know that there were other people that speak the langue.

Jay rolled his eyes. While thinking about why he married a Latina. Looking at Gloria's tight dress he nodded. 'That's why.' he thought.

"I-I think what Dad is trying to say... is that, Mitchell, you're a little uptight." Said Claire trying to placate her brother and save his dad's ass. "Kids bring chaos, and- and you don't handle it well."

"That's not what Dad's saying. That's what you're saying. And it's insulting in a whole different way." Said Mitch. now with a dumbfounded face thinking if this was the day of 'insulting the gay couple'.

"Okay, people. Let's all 'chillax.' Said Phil seeing that there was going to be some yelling if this keep going.

Alex who was already getting tired of so much drama asked her uncle, "Hey, where's Uncle Cameron?"

Mitch looked at Alex with a smile and said, "Thank you... Thank you. Someone who's not insulting me notices he's not here."

At this moment Jay, who was clearly not getting it that he should shut up, said, "Oh, so that's the big announcement, huh? You two broke up."

Mitch sends a look of wonder to his father, who keeps going and going.

"Well- Well, a baby wasn't gonna help that anyway." Jay said as a fact and then send a nod to his son, "And let me tell you. You're better off because he was a bit of a drama queen."

At this Theodore added, "I love Cam. Is like a living opera show."

Hearing that his father and now his nephew, keep insulting him and his boyfriend Mitch finally blows up, "No, no, no. Stop. Stop. No.
